2020 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion

Throws brahs taking time off coaching their 6 person total event group to get feisty in the forum.

I'm sure signing one person a year and coaching 1/10th of every track team really prepares you for that head coaching position

Don't knock it til you've tried it Brah! :-) Best job there is brah... Throws dudes don't want nothing to do with head jobs... Too much drama and hassle... Just chill at the ring / weight room brah. That's the life if you got the passion in the biz. Won't pay a lot, but lots of free time and chill...

So, you don't know how to spell, you have no personal knowledge and throw a coach under the bus from hearing about him from "others", but no specifics. As I said, you should be banned.

By the way, what do you do for a living and how is your job going? I figured as much.

I like your passion. How did I throw him under the bus? You left out the part with my personal experience with the individual.

Got your panties all wadded up. Now you wanna go into attack mode? Dude please. Say what I want, here and any place else.

I get it, we just have what appears to be some angry throws brash in here that need to get back to the ring and be one with the circle again brah. No need to start getting into event group throwdown we all need to be one with the implements. Head coach of Track/ Director is often times the most overrated position in college track. The majority of them don't get to do much coaching but have to deal with all the BS paperwork (although in some cases it does pay). Who wants part of that?

Some of the best head coaches that win team ncaa titles are the best in COACHING (Florida, USC, Texas AM, Texas, Georgia, etc).

If you only got 6 people to coach in the throws, they better be national caliber, or you’re wasting everyone’s time. There’s a lot of science and video review that into a successful throws program. The best thing, is that you get to work with athletes who genuinely love the sport. Throws get little to no coverage, it all goes to sprints and distance, you know, the divas of the team. So you know you’re going to get done hard working athletes.

+1 but let’s not diverge away from the point of this thread.

Any updates on Quinnipiac? The new U of New England coach left Regis (Mass.) for the position. They only had two coaches on track staff; neither with xc experience. Possibly opening to watch for.

Any one know who the candidates for Missouri are? If Miller turned it down?

One of these schools is not like the others.

Female candidates...

explains why the rumors on it are so quiet. I would say expect someone not even in coaching or very inexpereinced then. Big throws job carousel will be dead. Arizona make a jumps hire yet? Should be an ok year for jumps movement.

UCF needs a throws coach

No. I believe they will be looking to hire a jumps/multis coach to remove those responsibilities off of the HC

Shame. Another school drops throws.

I would love to see staffs go to 7 for dual gender and 4 for single gender programs. This would alleviate this issue.

At a time when every university, athletic dept., and team should be looking to save money?

How about track and field coaches actually be track and field coaches and not just event coaches?

He is the Head Coach at Lane College now.
